materials
use all worsted weight or all sport weight leftovers and one solid color for contrast throughout
# 11 47" circular needles (length is to make sure that you don't lose any of the stitches)
seed stitch: Even numbers of sts
row 1: K 1, P 1 across row.
row 2: P 1, K 1 across row.
instructions
for a long, narrow afghan (for person laying on a couch) cast on
94 sts with 2 strands of yarn (a leftover and the solid color). for a wide,
long afghan cast on 134 sts with 2 strands of yarn (a
leftover and the solid color).
every row is the same until you decide that you've knit the afghan long enough.
slip first st as if to purl, follow seed st pattern, knit last stitch through the back loop.
the slipped stitch on each side gives a kind of braided edge to the
entire afghan. once you've woven in all the ends, then the afghan
is finished.
whenever i run out of a color, i knit 3 strands together for about 10-15
sts to weave in the next color. when the afghan is done,
i can either weave in the ends or snip them off.
